Street Life Photography - Causeway Bay, Hong kong
Causeway Bay, as known as the busiest and the most crowded place in Hong Kong. I choose to take street life photography in Causeway Bay because I want to explore more about the life and behind this busy place. I have chose to start with a little road full of little shops to the main road in the place. From the journey, I have discovered and explored a lot about the life behind, I have captured a lot of different moments and scenes such as a woman working outside the restaurant where she is working at, businessmen chatting while having lunch and my favourite photograph is the smoking man because I can captured the smoke of the cigarette.
For these photographs, I have used Olympus F1.8 camera to work with, I chose not to use a tripod for holding the camera since my aim in this photography is to captured little scenes that we all might not notice about of Causeway Bay. The technique I have used in this street life photography is the rule of thirds and also zoom. I used the rule of thirds because I want to focus the object that I want to capture and the object will be the theme of the photograph. I used zoom because I want to capture scenes of how people live and work there and I do not want them to notice me therefore I have zoomed in and captured those moments. I have also edit the photographs into black and white since it can show the mood nicely.
In this street life photography, the most challenging part is to capture a moment of people lifestyle because I have to take the photo as quick as posible so that the person will not notice me taking photographs of them and I have to capture the moment before they do another work.
